A doctor-turned IPS officer has come to the rescue of needy patients in Jhalawar district of Rajasthan.

SP Ravi, a 2007 batch Indian Police Service (IPS) officer, who served as a government doctor in Delhi for six years, is offering medical assistance to patients at a police station.

“Since the situation (strike by government doctors) is worsening, I attended to patients as a doctor. I will continue to render help to the patients at the Sadar Police Station till the strike is off,” Ravi, an alumnus of Maulana Azad Medical College in Delhi, told PTI.

“I attended to around 15 to 20 patients from 9am to 11am on Monday and wrote prescriptions for them. If I have the ability, why not use it in public interest,” he added.
